OMG PD

'Raging' Drivers;
Biting and Huffing

Road rage got the better of a 20-year-old Barrington man late
Wednesday morning, May 23, after he allegedlypounded on the roof of a cardriven by a woman with a baby in the
back seat after he thought she cut him off at an intersection.

Both vehicles pulled off County Road in Barrington into the Police Cove parking area.
While the woman was contacting the police, the man allegedly ran up to her
vehicle and began pounding on the roof while yelling at her. Several police
patrol cars raced to police cove, police said.

The man allegedly ran off into
the nearby residential neighborhood after seeing the approaching patrol cars.
He was caught within minutes in the backyard of a nearby house.

Police responded to the home that morning for a report of
a domestic assault, and spoke to a man who described his alleged assailant as
an "on again, off again" girlfriend.

In speaking to the victim, the
man said he got into an argument with the woman, when she allegedly bit him in
the left breast area of the chest. Officers verified the bite mark.

She left the scene, and officers were able to pull her
over shortly after. During an inventory search, police allegedly found three
plastic baggies and a folded $1 bill, containing a substance that tested
positive for cocaine. Police also reportedly found a knife with a blade longer
than three inches.

According to reports provided by the department, when
officers arrived at the parking lot, the man was sick and unresponsive. Before
passing out, he allegedly fell over and cracked a glass door at AC Coverings
Inc., according to the report. Police took note of a fresh abrasion near
his eye.
